Cover for Used Aliens

Review:

Satire in the Dou­glas Adams style, but of course noone is Dou­glas Adams (not even Dou­glas Adams most days)

Review:

It's fun. The gim­micky struc­ture does­n't re­al­ly help much, it would prob­a­bly be a bet­ter book if it was told in a more old fash­ioned way.

Cover for Montevideo, o, Una nueva Troya

Review:

This book is a very in­ter­est­ing one. Most ev­ery­thing Du­mas wrote is fa­mous. This book is not. Free ebooks of al­most ev­ery­thing he wrote is easy to find. Not this book.

It's a very in­ter­est­ing read, spe­cial­ly if you know some­thing about south amer­i­can his­to­ry of the pe­ri­od, be­cause of just *how* mis­guid­ed Du­mas was about al­most ev­ery­thing.

You can read it in a ghast­ly span­ish trans­la­tion here: http://pds.lib.har­vard.e­du/pds/view/3...
